This paper presents a new gearbox noise detection algorithm based on analyzing specific points
of vibration signals using the Wavelet Transform. The proposed algorithm is compared with a previouslydeveloped
algorithm associated with the Fourier decomposition using Hanning windowing. Simulation
carried on real data demonstrate that the WT algorithm achieves a comparable accuracy while having a lower
computational cost. This makes the WT algorithm an appropriate candidate for fast processing of noise gear box
